Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Foreign and Commonwealth Office's handling of my FOI request 'Correspondence on Ukraine'.
This has been overly redacted to a point where it is lacking important public interest information particularly with regards to the offices involved in its communication. It seems that public officials should be identified, if that is not possible it should at least be clear whether these were internal FCO correspondence, between which offices, whether outside parties or other government agencies are involved - all this is important for accountability. As this has been so heavily redacted in these ways I request an internal review.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Dr Emma L Briant
